Etsuro Fujita f8f6e44676 postgres_fdw: Improve cost and size estimation for aggregate pushdown.
In commit 7012b132d0, which added aggregate
pushdown to postgres_fdw, we didn't account for the evaluation cost and the
selectivity of HAVING quals attached to ForeignPaths performing aggregate
pushdown, as core had never accounted for that for AggPaths and GroupPaths.
And we didn't set these values of the locally-checked quals (ie, fpinfo's
local_conds_cost and local_conds_sel), which were initialized to zeros, but
since estimate_path_cost_size factors in these to estimate the result size
and the evaluation cost of such a ForeignPath when the use_remote_estimate
option is enabled, this caused it to produce underestimated results in that
case.

By commit 7b6c075471 core was changed so that
it accounts for the evaluation cost and the selectivity of HAVING quals in
aggregation paths, so change the postgres_fdw's aggregate pushdown code as
well as such.  This not only fixes the underestimation issue mentioned
above, but improves the estimation using local statistics in that function
when that option is disabled.

This would be a bug fix rather than an improvement, but apply it to HEAD
only to avoid destabilizing existing plan choices.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
